Starlight is a fintech that partners with credit unions to connect members with underutilized financial assistance programs, helping communities save and thrive. Using AI technology, Starlight identifies eligibility for public benefits, grants, and other financial aid programs that can alleviate burdens for members struggling to make ends meet. Research shows that billions of dollars in public benefits go unclaimed each year, often due to complex application processes or lack of awareness—a gap Starlight is dedicated to closing.

For example, Starlight’s platform has helped credit unions improve their members’ access to critical resources, from housing and healthcare assistance to food security programs. According to their research, simply connecting members with available benefits can increase household income by an average of 10-15%, providing a significant buffer against financial hardship. Starlight’s AI-driven solution screens members and directs them to resources they may be eligible for, reducing friction in the application process and improving access to essential support.

By partnering with Starlight, credit unions can enhance their role as community financial advocates, offering a unique service that fosters deeper member trust and financial resilience. Starlight’s approach aligns perfectly with credit unions’ mission to empower members and provide comprehensive financial care.
